Texas Tech Red Raiders (4-8)

(AP) -- Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt was appointed to the College Football Playoff selection committee Monday.

Hocutt will replace Oliver Luck, the former West Virginia athletic director who has moved to a position with the NCAA. Luck was the Big 12's pick for the selection committee last season. Each of the five power conferences in FBS has one current athletic director on the 13-member committee responsible for choosing the participants for the four-team playoff that determines major college football's national champion.

Hocutt grew up in Sherman, Texas, and was a linebacker at Kansas State from 1991-94 under head coach Bill Snyder and then-defensive coordinator Bob Stoops. He has previously been athletic director at Ohio University and Miami. He took over at Texas Tech in 2011.
